	REVIEW COMMENTS - FIRE DEPARTMENT

	PROVISO - SUBMIT REVISION

	HOSE REEL WITH 1-1/2" HOSE VALVES APPEAR TO HAVE
	PRESSURES THAT WILL EXCEED 100 PSI. PER NFPA 14 SECTION
	7.2.3.1, WHERE THE RESIDUAL PRESSURE AT A 1-1/2" OUTLET
	ON A HOSE CONNECTION AVAILABLE FOR TRAINED PERSONNEL
	USE EXCEEDS 100 PSI, AN APPROVED PRESSURE-REGULATING
	DEVICE SHALL BE PROVIDED TO LIMIT THE RESIDUAL PRESSURE
	TO 100 PSI. ALSO PER NFPA 14 SECTION 7.2.3.2, AN
	APPROVED PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE SHALL BE PROVIDED
	TO LIMIT STATIC AND RESIDUAL PRESSURES AT THE OUTLET OF
	THE HOSE CONNECTION TO 100 PSI FOR 1-1/2" HOSE
	CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE FOR TRAINED PERSONNEL USE AND 175
	PSI FOR OTHER HOSE CONNECTIONS.

	TO AVOID PRESSURE REGULATING DEVICES I WOULD RECOMMEND
	A TRUE CLASS I STANDPIPE SYSTEM (2-1/2 FDVS ONLY) AND
	ELIMINATE THE 1-1/2" FDVS WITH HOSE AND REEL BECAUSE
	FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL WILL NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT.
